In the short time I've been using Chromium on Linux Mint, I've never understood why it ( also Chrome, its parent) doesn't give a user the option to clear cookies when you sign off.

I find it a real pita to have to go into settings, dig it out, and manually clear it every time before signing off. That's a major reason why I like Firefox and PaleMoon better..... I have them set to clean everything at sign off.

Just wondering how Chromium users on LM deal with this inconvenience.

I use the following script to clear all browser data.
Just copy into a new document, then save (no extension), then make executable, and run.
* Change the /mozilla/firefox/mwad0hks.default to your default mail folder (in Firefox).

Hoser Rob, does Click & Clean extension do it automatically on sign-off or do you have to click to clear before signing off? Thanks!

It's an option in its settings (i think default off). You can also whitelist cookies to survive deletion which can be a handy feature - e.g for the Mint Forum Cookie if you use the remember me checkbox on log-in.

Thanks for all the above replies... quite a few options. I also see that cookies can be set to clear automatically from Chromium when you exit the browser.

Chromium Settings>Advanced>Cookies>Keep local data only until you quit your browser

That takes care of cookies. When you open Chromium again the next time, if you check "See all cookies and site data" in settings, you'll notice that it did clean the cookies from the last session, except for the one that Chromium just dropped in when it just opened (google.com).

But for all the other stuff (like browsing history, etc.) we can pick a choice from any of the posts above so far.

I have a Microsoft mouse type Wireless mobile mouse 1000 and I want to use this mouse on Linux Mint Rebecca.
When i push de middle mouse button on an version of Windows then i can drag thru the website or document.

Now in Linux Mint Rebecca I can use the scrollwheel but when I push the middlemousebutton scrollwheel then the button is idle in Chromium.
How can I drag thru websites with this mouse?

If you're going to hijack a thread you should at least pick one that's a similar topic. You'll get better responses if you start your own thread.
